“ Needed Message! ”
What a timely message. Many churches along with the world deny this foundational truth, that the holy Trinity 'changes not'. The verses cited are emphatic! Neither God the Father nor Jesus Christ, the incarnate eternal Son, are capable of "change" in their being, for that would deny God's holiness, righteousness, immutability, sovereignty, eternal decrees, foreknowledge and election.
The only thing that God changed was the "testaments", the older covenant "shadows" of Israel for a New and "better testament" (Heb. 7-9), yes a change of dispensation and "times", yet consistent in terms of being justified in God's sight 'by faith' (Habk 2:4), and the gospel plainly revealed through Christ's appearing. Truly this a mystery that requires revelation of scripture, not reason of man. Hebrews 8:9-13 proves a radical change in covenants, times, testaments, as did what happened in 70 A.D. to Jerusalem, and also Pentecost when Peter said Joel's prophecy was fulfilled, a mark of something new.
The confusion comes due to errors and heresies in misunderstanding the old and new testaments, covenants, and changes, as taught by Jesus: "This is the *New* Testament in my blood, drink this..etc", while the "old waxed away". |
